Shogayaki Chicken and Apricot Rice

I always know when I get home and unpack my groceries if I had to stand in the check out lane too long. I come home with magazines. Some girls like People, Us, and Cosmo…I like Saveur, Taste of Home, and Everyday Food!

But I found a new one that I had never seen before. It’s called “Cuisine Lite.” Not to be mistaken with Cooking Light (another great one). This one though on the cover says “78 recipes under 390 calories.”
YES!

See, I’m going on vacation in just over a week. A vacation which will require a swimsuit. Said swimsuit that I haven’t worn since last summer. UGH. I’ve been working my tail off (LITERALLY), but I still need help.

Back to the magazine. The pictures are gorgeous and I dog eared nearly half the magazine (did I mention there are no ads?). I changed up this recipe of course, based on the ingredients I had on hand. This one is going in the rotation. AND it’s blog worthy. That’s what my kids refer to as a great dinner that mom should put on the blog. As you may have noticed I tend to blog my sweets and pastries, and not as many dinners. So you should know when a dinner recipe appears on the blog…IT’S GOOD! Enjoy!

In large saucepan, bring to a boil the broth, ginger and salt. Add rice and cook according to package directions (mine says to cover and simmer for 20 minutes).

While cooking, in a small saucepan add apricots, rice wine vinegar and orange zest. Simmer on low until rice is done cooking.

When ready to served, pour apricot mixture into rice, stir until combined and serve.

haha! I always come home with a magazine or two. I finally got subscriptions to some of my favorites just to save money. It still doesn’t stop me from getting a magazine each time I am there!

I feel ya on the whole swimsuit issue. This warm weather threw me for a loop…I thought I had a little bit longer before busting out the shorts. I need lots more work before I will get into my swimsuit!!

I love good low fat recipes. And both of these sound yummy!!! Perfect to eat for the next 3 months of workout torture!!!
